Pavittha Thera
Pavittha Thera:A brahmin of Magadha who,following his own inclination,became a Paribbājaka.His training ended,he wandered forth and heard of Upatissa and Kolita joining the Buddha’s Order.Impressed by their example,he became a monk and,soon after,an arahant.In the time of Atthadassī Buddha,he was an ascetic named Narādakesava and paid homage to the Buddha.Seventeen kappas ago he was a king named Amittatāpana (Thag.vs.87; ThagA.i.185f).
He is evidently identical with Ekadamsaniya of the Apadāna.Ap.i.168f.
